Appendix B - Introductory Worksheets - Lesson 2 Churches – a very humble start The two oldest churches in the district are St Felix’s Roman Catholic Church, Bankstown and
St Matthew’s Anglican Church, Yagoona.
St Felix’s, near the corner of Liverpool Road and Chapel Road, Irish Town (later on known as Upper Bankstown), was the first church in the area. Land was donated by John and Bridget Abbott and a foundation stone laid on 4 December 1853. The original church was demolished in 1932 and the new church was completed in the same year.
St Matthew’s Anglican Church, a rough bush hut on the Liverpool Road, Yagoona, was established in the 1860s to serve the Protestants of the district. As a group: Use a: Øblue highlighter to highlight words or phrases that indicate time, Øyellow highlighter to highlight words or phrases that indicate location, Øpink highlighter to highlight words that indicate evaluation and Øan orange highlighter to highlight any describing or classifying adjectives. Questions: What is the topic of this factual recount?

What is the purpose of this factual recount? How did our community become so culturally diverse? Villawood, located in the north of Bankstown, was the first home for many migrants to Australia. The Villawood Hostel, opened in 1949, housed migrants mostly from the United Kingdom and Europe. With a population of 1,425 in 1964, it was the largest migrant hostel in Australia. Residents were English, Dutch, Italian along with many other nationalities. Conditions were harsh and in 1961 there were charges of ‘virtual starvation, stink and degradation’.
From the 1970s onwards, there was a dramatic shift in the origin of the immigrant population settling in Bankstown. The number of migrants from the United Kingdom, Ireland and southern Europe declined, while those from the Middle East and Asia increased. Many migrants from Asia, particularly from Vietnam, were housed at the Villawood Hostel.
The influx of the different migrant groups is reflected in the current-day population of Bankstown. People from more than 130 nationalities, speaking more than 60 different languages, currently call Bankstown home. The most common languages spoken today are English, Arabic, Vietnamese, Greek, Italian and Cantonese.

"----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Discovery of Gold "-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edward Hargraves came to Australia directly from the Californian goldfields in 1850. He was sure that he could find gold in NSW because the land was so similar to the Sierra Nevada area in America. He went with John Lister to find gold near Bathurst. Lister had already found some before. "-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hargraves panned a small amount of gold and set off to Sydney to collect a reward. Lister stayed behind and worked the site with a cradle instrument that Hargraves had seen in California. It separates gold nuggets from the sand. "-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Hargraves discovered the gold he said, “This is a memorable day in the history of NSW. I shall be a baronet, you will be knighted and my old horse will be stuffed and put in a glass case and sent to the British Museum”. "-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More than one hundred years after Captain James Cook and many other explorers landed on the soil of Australia, there was Federation. "-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before Federation people disagreed and agreed about becoming a nation. From 1850 to 1891, Sir Henry Parkes debated for Federation in his newspaper, The Empire. In 1891 the first Australian convention happened and many people supported the idea, such as Edmund Barton. On the first of January, 1901, the British Government finally allowed all six states to join to become one nation.

The Europeans started arriving in Bankstown just seven years after the first settlement in Sydney Cove, making it one of Sydney’s most historic sites. In 1795 Matthew Flinders – then a Royal Naval midshipman – along with a surgeon George Bass and Bass’ servant, William Martin, explored the Georges River aboard a 2.5 metre rowing boat, the Tom Thumb. During nine days of exploration, they sketched the land and river formation, travelling as far as the junction of Georges River and Prospect Creek. They reported their findings to Governor Hunter who then explored the area in 1797. "-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“The sketch made of this river and presented to the governor, with the favourable report of the land on its borders, induced His Excellency to examine them himself shortly afterward; and was followed by establishing there a new branch of the colony, under the name Banks’ Town.” (Matthew Flinders, A Voyage to Terra Australis) "-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The area was named Banks’ Town in honour of botanist Sir Joseph Banks, who sailed with Captain Cook on the ‘Voyage of Discovery’ from 1768 to 1771. Banks had collected botanical and scientific specimens at Botany Bay between 28 April and 6 May 1770. On his return to England, his enthusiasm for the settlement at Botany Bay had bearing on the decision to send the first fleet to Australian shores.
